Dear Mr. Olson,

It was a delight to come across your recent articles “Why We Can’t Wait” and “Whites–Are We Still Worthy?.” Your logic was flawless.

I have just recently renewed my search to find like-minded folk after a decade or so of putting my hope/faith in the political system and existing parties. My personal awareness and disdain for the social, economic, and codified attacks on people of European (particularly male) descent has been there since the 1970s.

When in small groups of white males, my friends all would admit they see their own government and sometimes their employer discriminate against them. If pressed they would also express a little bitterness at the way we are portrayed as the buffoon or symbol of immortality and corruption in TV and films, but for the most part I would always be a little more outraged and more concerned the trend could get worse. Now 30 years later I know I was right, and thanks to talk radio and the internet, I also know my concern was shared by others all along.

The last six months of political upheaval has convinced me to be a conservative (even one winning arguments and opening minds) is like keeping your head above water as the current caries you over the waterfall. I joined my first organization which is both conservative but also pro-white and still have high hopes of working with others who share my goals. Unfortunately my frustration is that the movement seems to be full of talk of who betrayed whom, who’s not worthy of joining our movement, and graduate level dissertations about the last 75 years of the left’s history. But there is little talk about how to improve our life and future.

Today I ran across “Why We Can’t Wait” and “Whites–Are We Still Worthy?,” and I finally found something I could sink my teeth into and engage my mind in thinking of solutions. It was a great day for me Thank you for those thoughts and clarity.

You have my attention, but could you elaborate on the “right time” for “assertion of our group and individual rights.” I completely agree we have no more time and that there are probably tens of thousands of people that don’t want to associate with lunatics or criminals yet could lend knowledge and expertise to a common goal if they had some immediate legal and incremental way of contributing. The tea parties of the last few weeks show how many are ready to fight back with no real tools in their grasp. There is a great body of legal behavior that is not in political in nature. What are you suggesting?

Sincerely,
DK

Dear Mr. K,

Many thanks for your comments on my TOQ Online columns, “Whites — Are We Still Worthy?” and “Why We Can’t Wait.”  Yours is the most positive feedback I have received on these efforts, and I especially appreciate your imagery of being a “conservative” as “like keeping your head above water as the current carries you over the waterfall.”

Some have decried me as “hopelessly naive” and foolish in comparing whites today to yesteryear’s homosexuals — because “the fix was always in” for them, and we can have no real hope of success without such support. Not only is that plainly untrue, but such an attitude is like refusing to play poker unless you can use your own marked deck. Worse, people who believe that way are meekly waiting for the death of their race.

My primary aim is to scold aware whites into action, and these are intended as the first two in a series of columns which might one day be collected and expanded into a book. I want to guide white activists into productive, hopeful activities and away from the stupidity and self-destructive actions that have so aided the other side in branding all defenders of the white race as “haters.”

The “tea parties” are a hopeful sign. I originally feared that these people would think they had made their point and then fade away after holding their big demonstrations, like so many others who participated in “safe” anti-government activities. The best thing that could happen is for our people to get control of their mailing lists and work to “activate” those people for reasonable activities demanding “fairness” and equal rights for whites — what a radical concept!

Have you read Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals and his other writings? We should all study him carefully, because the same techniques that have worked so well for our enemies can work for us if properly applied.  Operating entirely outside the political system is not going to work, and we need to get solid young people into state legislatures, and eventually into Congress — just as the other side has been doing for a lifetime.

I have several detailed ideas for action, but hesitate to outline them on TOQ Online or disseminate them for fear that, should they become effective a decade from now, they will be demonized by the SPLC and other true hate groups as “hate schemes” proposed on “racist” Internet sites back in 2009. Truth, of course, would not matter in that case. Specific strategies and tactics, therefore, must be held very close to the vest to have any chance of success.

Again, thanks for your moral support, and I hope you will be with us in future action — should any develop from my humble efforts.

Douglas Olson
